#192 Saria
Link's childhood friend from the Kokiri Village. Saria has a knack for playing the Fairy Ocarina, which she gives to Link upon him setting off on his quest. After a tearful goodbye, Saria doesn't see Link much afterward, but can communicate telepathically with him whenever he plays Saria's Song. This song even earns the trust of the jaded Kokiri people seven years later, and Saria turns out to be the Forest Sage, a part of sealing away Ganon for good.
#193 Impa (Ocarina of Time)
Raised in the Kakariko village, Impa is Zelda's attendant and keeps a watchful eye on the princess day in and day out. After Ganondorf's attack and takeover of Hyrule, Impa places Zelda in hiding and teaches her how to blend in as a Sheikah. As the Sage of Shadow, Impa is crucial in placing a seal on Ganon. She also teaches Link a melody known as Zelda's Lullaby, and entrusts him to protect Princess Zelda on her behalf.
#194 Kaepora Gaebora
The owl form of the Sage of Light, Rauru, provides helpful advice to Link on his adventure and is able to teleport him to places near instantly. In another adventure, Kaepora teaches Link the Song of Soaring, allowing Link to warp to owl statues across Termina, and leads him to finding the Lens of Truth in order to help an old Goron ghost heal. Such a wise old bird, Kaepora Gaebora is.
#195 Malon
Malon is the daughter of Talon, who takes care of the Lon Lon Ranch. Malon is often seen doing her father's chores around the ranch and asks for Link's help in finding him when he goes missing one day. Malon calls Link "fairy boy" because he resembles a Kokiri, but this may just be a term of endearment rather than an insult. She provides Link with a horse named Epona, teaching him Epona's Song so he can be summoned whenever the Hero of Time needs him.
#196 Epona
Every great hero needs a noble steed, Link included! Epona was once a shy mare on Lon Lon Ranch, until Link learned Epona's Song and gained her trust and freedom after a horse race. Epona has since helped Link traverse the lands of Hyrule quickly and swiftly, at the cost of one carrot per speed boost. Even in Termina, a mysterious land, Epona is a faithful companion to the end.
#197 Goron
Rocky, tough residents born on Death Mountain and reside there as well in Goron City. They are relatively peaceful denizens of Hyrule, having great respect for the Royal Family and were entrusted with Goron's Ruby, one of the three Spiritual Stones. The Goron's primary export: stone, is harvested from Dodongo's Cavern. This cavern was unfortunately blocked off by Ganondorf. Link must venture inside with Goron's Bracelet and restore order before the Goron's situation gets worse.
#198 Darunia
The proud leader of the Gorons in Goron City and the Sage of Fire during Link's adult years. When he and Link first meet, Darunia scoffs that the Royal Family would disrespect him by sending a child as a messenger, but after hearing the soothing tones of Saria's Song, Darunia challenges Link to solve their plight. It seems to have been successful as when Link returns seven years later, Darunia's offspring is named for his "Sworn Brother": Link!
#199 Zora
There are two different varieties of Zora, that being the benevolent Sea Zoras and the antagonistic River Zora. Within Zora's Domain, the Sea Zora worship the great fish deity Jabu-Jabu and are the keepers of Zora's Sapphire, a Spiritual Stone. While Link may be friendly toward the Sea Zora, the River Zora have been known to give him trouble most of the time… except for a secret Zora found in Link's Awakening DX, who seems pretty chummy after you meet him.
#200 Ruto
Princess Ruto of the Zora seems to have a soft spot for Link. When receiving Zora's Sapphire at Zora's Fountain, Ruto claims it is a sign of her and Link's engagement. Years later, as the Sage of Water, Ruto desires to give Link her eternal love, but instead gifts him a useful Water Medallion. Despite that, Ruto knows when more important things than wooing the Hero of Time take priority and helps to seal away Ganondorf with her fellow Sages after Link's triumphant battle.
